Finished watching last nights game. But we were playing toe to toe with a heavy weight ... there are good parts to this team. Just need to put it together
Same. Izzo is Calhoun lite. Great half time coach. Msu came out hungry and focused
Izzo is one of my favorite active coaches. Smart, recruits tough kids, and adjusts
I put him up there with some of the greats but again, is in a hotbed of recruiting and gets a lot of great players without getting in a plane. Tough to win NC's all the time but his FF's tells you a lot. He's really good, not JC but pretty good next level down maybe.
So in other words cup 3/4’s full... first 31 minutes we gave State all it could handle.
DO getting his third and fourth foul early in second half and not having Cobb’s five fouls and defensive rebounding were as much a game changer as what Izzo did.
I was really happy that TL shook off the shooting cobwebs in the second half. Unfortunately Jalen and Alterique started half cold.
Winslow went off on UConn because guards collapsed on D when David went out. Once in the zone very little likelihood he was going to be stopped.
Jalen did a great job on Bridges. Would like to see him stop taking his moments of frustration out on Terry. So far Terry has shrugged it off but I wouldn’t be surprised if some day he puts Jalen to the canvas.
Three posts fluffing Izzo in less than a half-hour is plenty. When UConn ran his NCAA-favored team off the court a few years ago he said they lost due to free throws. No class. Plus, Sparty fans suck.Jc lite....izzo Does a great job with development and running plays that support his player strengths
He directs his frustration out on Terry similar to Bazz on Boat. Terry seems to be handling it and shrugging it off. Like you I’d prefer he acted without emotional outbursts and was a stoic leader. Suffice it to say he’s similar to a lot of fans in this forum that struggle with negative emotional immaturity.Didn't like his few emotional outbursts needs to grow up still. Leaders are calm especially when there is a run by the other team, he wasn't. He's getting there though.
That is what I was trying to say last night but was told I was "wrong"....Great half time coach. Msu came out hungry and focused
The no call on McQuaid's clear walk at half court when it was 51-44 still ticks me off. Mich. St. went on a little 5-0 run following that and we never recovered from that 12 point deficit.

They missed several MSU players shuffling their feet but refs weren't a problem last night, we probably got a couple calls as well.The travel and the obvious offensive goaltend pissed me off. I'm not sure how the refs missed either. It probably didn't matter but you can't miss those.
